Nobody tells it like Mary. With a voice that is rough
and ready, sweet and pure, Mary J. Blige is capable
of conveying heartache and happiness in a single
musical phrase. A confessional singer, her emotional
honesty reflects the great traditions of blues and
soul with a ripped-from-the-pages-of-your
immediacy that has won her countless honors and a
devoted, ever-growing audience around the
world.
Over the course of 14 years, six studio albums, one
live collection, a dance album, and a remix album,
Mary never failed to deliver potent R&B/hip-hop
mantras that work on the head, heart and hips. More
than a vocalist, she is an accomplished recording
artist known for her electrifying live performances,
dramatic videos and innovative studio productions
with a who’s ? who and who’s ? hot of
musical
talents from Elton John to Dr. Dre.
Reflecting a newfound serenity without forgetting her
trademark straight-up messages to players, cheaters
and fools, Mary, will take us on a new musical
journey this spring with the release of her seventh
studio album “The Breakthrough. ” With a new lease
on life, Mary will take us on a magic carpet ride
fulfilling all of our musical and spiritual needs.
Delivered with conviction and compassion, the songs
on “The Breakthrough ” are evidence of Mary’s
spiritual growth and her transcendence over a
childhood in the projects of Yonkers, New York, and
an early success plagued with drama, to her current
joy. “Yes, she’s gotten lost, she’s done this and that
and she’s been trying to figure it out, ” Mary admits in
her typically forthright manner.
In addition to filming anti-drug public service
announcements, Mary has worked with various
education groups and received Rock the Vote’s
highest honor, the Patrick Lippert Award. She is a
tireless fund-raiser for people with AIDS. Most
recently she has joined the Crest Healthy Smiles
campaign to bring awareness to the oral health care
epidemic. Crest Healthy Smiles- through partnership
with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America- provide
children in underserved communities with necessary
tools for preventive care, education and low or no
cost dental services.
Whether pouring her heart out in a recording booth
or on a concert stage or privately learning how to
love herself and help others, Mary has discovered
something powerful: The music that she makes, the
songs that have brought so much joy and solace to
so many, have also been her own salvation. When
you think of perseverance, strength and
commitment, you think of Mary J Blige.
